How to integrate Bookabach into your website
Option 1: Use web-widgets
Recommended for bach owners and property managers with up to three properties.
Widgets are small pieces of HTML and/or Javascript code that you can paste into your web page to perform different functions. Bookabach provides the following widgets:
- Link to your Bookabach listing: Create a simple text or logo link to your listing on Bookabach.
- Combined price-availability booking widget: Places the Bookabach scrolling price-availability booking widget on your website.
- Simple calendar widget: Shows a traditional grid-style month calendar with availability information.
- Picture gallery widget: Displays the images in your picture gallery.
To access web-widgets go to My Bookabach > Rental > Web-widgets
Option 2: Use our API
Recommended for professional property managers with three or more properties.
The Bookabach API allows a web-developer to integrate a property manager's Bookabach "content" into their own website - and with complete design freedom. It also allows access to our advanced search and reservation features. Benefits of this approach:
- Reduce IT costs: Bookabach has all the sophisticated functionality required to manage content, define pricing and manage rental occupancy. And, we're dedicated to continually improving this tool-set over time. Using our API saves you money and gets your website up and running faster.
- Save time: The combination of Bookabach, our affiliate partners, and your website gives you all the internet footprint you really need. So, you no longer need to maintain information on multiple websites, or update multiple calendars.
- Promote your brand (not ours!): You can safely refer people to your listings on your website without loosing traffic back to Bookabach.
- Express yourself!: Your content is managed via the Bookabach system but displayed in any way you wish on your website. You're only limited by the creativity of your web designer. This includes text, images, Google Maps etc.
- Include sophisticated search: Search properties using our search engine technology - with any number of criteria specific to your properties.
- Manage all bookings via Bookabach: Bookings obtained via your website are clearly tagged as such and are not (Performance Plan) Success Fees bearing*.
There is no charge for using the API, but you do need to have each property actively listed on Bookabach. For more information Contact us.
* Performance Plan Success Fees apply where the user is tracked as having come via Bookabach to your website.
